How to use JavaScript variables in jQuery selectors?

Question

How do I use JavaScript variables as a parameter in a jQuery selector?

Answer 1

var name = this.name;
$("input[name=" + name + "]").hide();

OR you can do something like this.

var id = this.id;
$('#' + id).hide();

OR you can give some effect also.

$("#" + this.id).slideUp();

If you want to remove the entire element permanently form the page.

$("#" + this.id).remove();

You can also use it in this also.

$("#" + this.id).slideUp('slow', function (){
    $("#" + this.id).remove();
});
